    11 meter is very quiet?

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I did catch a Florida contact late this afternoon on 36 lsb which was quite in my mobile, and the first one in a while. I credit that to 36 lsb not being a train wreck. When your on a train wreck you defiantly need some real power !

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I haven't had much time for radio because my mind has been polluted with a emergency buy of a different ATV because my old one got retired. Thursday is the start of Special deer hunting for Seniors and mentored hunters. And I can't drag them deer anymore. The next problem is I can't figured out...

    I made 3 contacts this morning. Jamaica shortly after 8:00 AM then Texas and Oklahoma but had to let her be because of project schedules. Man On The Run ! ( Again )

    Can someone explain why nobody uses upper sideband?

    I have to eat some crow. Today in the mobile on LSB I heard traffic all the way down to ch 33. And the leaves keep falling and I'm hearing more chatter. The solar site said today 10-12 meter was only suppose to be fair. Seems like the change over is starting to be Hopping an Popping.

    Can someone explain why nobody uses upper sideband?

    I've personally thought not using USB is such a waste, but I'm no expert by no means

    Can someone explain why nobody uses upper sideband?

    I like the idea of the other channel so people don't know where to follow you.

    Can someone explain why nobody uses upper sideband?

    Yeah I remember but spring rolled around and dx dropped out for the summer. Maybe it would be worth another shot but not limit it to certain days on the week end. Everybody has different work schedules and time zones so it calls for more relaxed and less ridged.

    Can someone explain why nobody uses upper sideband?

    Maybe WWDX members that want to chat with each other should adopt a USB channel that isn't used by many to get away from the everyday clowns who waste the air waves with BS. I know where I'm at I hardly ever hear anything on channel 40 or below 36, but that is where I'm at and not saying...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Years ago when I was in my 20s I worked with a boss that said ( Most people are Dull, Boring & Stupid ) and I thought that was one of the worse opinions to have of other people and he must have a high opinion of himself. As I get older and witness some of the clowns on lsb I guess maybe he was...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    While mobile today I heard a lot of yakking but couldn't seem to get a comeback. I'm beginning to think I had better luck running my other sideband radios teamed up with my KL-200 P & my KL-203 P giving the air-waves just a little extra juice. Maybe I'll try turning down the RF power on my Q6...

    I found one on griegs list with heat & ac at a reasonable price but so far no answer to my email. Maybe it is BS !

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Some times you have to take life with a grain of salt or you'd go crazy Ya win some Ya lose some. I worked on my 4 wheeler in the garage today until I said enough is enough, Time to retire the old gal, she's been good but time for a heated JD Gator.
